TL;DR: It is concluded that the kinetics of early embryo development and the potential for human embryos to develop to the blastocyst stage on day 5 are closely related and that time-lapse-based evaluation of the exact timing of early events in embryo development is a promising tool for the prediction of Blastocyst formation and quality according to the proposed model.

TL;DR: It is concluded that time-lapse monitoring in the EmbryoScope does not impair embryo quality while allowing for morphological, spatial and temporal analysis of embryo development.

TL;DR: By adopting a time-lapse video system, it is suggested that the type of protocol used for controlled ovarian stimulation influences embryo kinetics of development but these variations are not reflected in embryo quality.

TL;DR: It is concluded that it is the fertilization method which determines embryo developmental kinetics if insemination time is used as the starting point, and the percentage of optimal embryos showed a trend towards higher values in IVF-derived embryos; however, the difference was not statistically significant.

TL;DR: Differences in embryo development kinetics for some of the variables evaluated allowed the description of an optimal range of gonadotrophin dosage and oestradiol concentration, but these kinetic differences did not translate into important distinctions in the proportion of optimal embryos with a higher implantation potential.
